CapitaLand Investment's fee revenue climbs 10% in Q1

Its listed funds management grew 14% YoY to $87m.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) reported fee-related revenue of $310m in the first quarter of 2026, up 10% year on year (YoY), driven by strong growth in its listed funds business.

It accounted for nearly 60% of total revenue, which stood at $487m in Q1, with the remainder from its investment business.

Revenue from CLI's real estate investment business (REIB) fell 14% YoY to $207m, down from $242m, primarily due to the absence of contributions following the August 2025 exit of the Synergy platform (US corporate housing) and the divestment of Dalian IT Park.

Within fee-related revenue, listed funds management grew 14% YoY to $87m, private funds management surged 58% to $41m, commercial management rose 3% to $98m, and lodging management remained stable at $84m.

The company's lodging arm, Ascott, recorded 3% growth in revenue per available unit (RevPAU) in Q1 2026, driven by a 3-percentage-point rise in occupancy.

Japan and Korea led growth with a 7% RevPAU increase. Ascott signed approximately 1,800 units and opened over 2,250 units during the quarter, with its Star Rewards membership base surpassing 8 million.

Meanwhile, the company raised approximately $2.5b in total equity across listed and private funds as of end-April 2026, in what it described as a more selective fundraising environment with investors prioritising quality and resilience.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
